Here’s the good news: There are still good tickets available for Los Angeles Lakers fans who want to attend Kobe Bryant’s jersey retirement. Here’s the bad news: It’s going to cost you a lot of money.

With just hours to go before Bryant’s numbers are retired by the Lakers, there is still at least one courtside seat available for purchase. Problem is, you better be willing to spend roughly $31,000 to get it.

Just talked to @StubHub folks outside of Staples Center about the Kobe-Lakers-Warriors tickets tonight. Most expensive seat left is $30,969 for a courtside sideline seat. The cheapest seat lower level is $685.68 for Loge End section 116.
